SUMMARY

The transition to THOR brings a number of benefits to the financial services industry in Thailand.

What is THOR?

THB Overnight Repurchase Rate (THOR) is a widely used benchmark for overnight money market interest rates in Thailand. As a financial reference rate, THOR provides a reliable and transparent alternative to traditional benchmark rates such as LIBOR.

How is THOR calculated?

THOR is calculated daily by the Bank of Thailand and is based on actual market transactions. The rate has been developed to replace the THBFIX rate. It is designed to reflect the average overnight money market interest rate in Thailand and is used by financial services professionals to price a variety of financial products and instruments.

As a rate that is based on actual market transactions, it provides greater transparency and reduces the risk of rate manipulation. This in turn helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the financial markets in Thailand
